Also, for Max. Acknowledgments It is a cliche to say that the author owes too much to too many people to adequately describe. In writing this, I discover that it is also true. I would first like to thank my advisor, Mohamed G. Gouda. Without him, this dissertation would not have been possible and I would not be the person I am today. His support and guidance are without equal. I would also like to thank my committee members, Lorenzo Alvisi, Michael D. Dahlin, Mootaz Elnozahy, and Aloysius K. Mok. Their sugges- tions have greatly improved this dissertation. I am also grateful for the support of my friends and coworkers: Kay Nettle, Fletcher Mattox, John Chambers, Stephanie Tomlinson, Dan Machold, Cyndy Matuszek, Toren Smith, Joe Trent, Scott Sutcliffe, Chris McCraw, Tony Bumpass, Casey Cooper, Pat Horne, Chris Kotrla, Matt Larson, Bart Phillips, Carol Hyink, and Lewis Phillips.

  • Network Attack Injection
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS DEPARTAMENTO DE INFORMÁTICA Network Attack Injection João Alexandre Simões Antunes DOUTORAMENTO EM INFORMÁTICA ESPECIALIDADE CIÊNCIA DA COMPUTAÇÃO 2012 UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS DEPARTAMENTO DE INFORMÁTICA Network Attack Injection João Alexandre Simões Antunes Tese orientada pelo Prof. Doutor Nuno Fuentecilla Maia Ferreira Neves especialmente elaborada para a obtenção do grau de doutor em Informática, especialidade de Ciência da Computação. 2012 Abstract The increasing reliance on networked computer systems demands for high levels of dependability. Unfortunately, new threats and forms of attack are constantly emerging to exploit vulnerabilities in systems, compromising their correctness. An intrusion in a network server may affect its users and have serious repercussions in other services, possi- bly leading to new security breaches that can be exploited by further attacks. Software testing is the first line of defense in opposing attacks because it can support the discovery and removal of weaknesses in the systems. However, searching for flaws is a difficult and error-prone task, which has invariably overlooked vulnerabilities. The thesis proposes a novel methodology for vulnerability discovery that systematically generates and injects attacks, while monitoring and analyzing the target system. An attack that triggers an unexpected behavior provides a strong indication of the presence of a flaw. This attack can then be given to the developers as a test case to reproduce the anomaly and to assist in the correction of the problem. The main focus of the investigation is to provide a theoretical and experimental framework for the implementation and execution of at- tack injection on network servers.
